Another great Candida food to begin incorporating into your yeast eliminating diet is the chia seed.

You may remember these tiny chia seeds marketed as a novelty plant you would spread on a ceramic lamb and watch it grow. Who knew back in the 80′s that we should have been eating these tiny seeds instead of wasting them on a novelty.

Chia seeds can be added to a Candida diet as a way to get great nutrition as well as for adding variety to the yeast eliminating diet.

Chia as a Candida food

Although chia seeds are tiny, they sure pack a punch. Each seed is 36% fiber, 20.4 % protein, 20% omega 3 fatty acid and less then 4 percent carbs. They are loaded with antioxidants so they wont feed Candida yeast cells and they will boost your immune system. Not to mention add a nice flavor and texture to most yeast free recipes.

How to use Chia Seeds in the Yeast Diet

Chia seeds come in two varieties; white and black. They can be purchased whole, ground, or as bran as well as just Chia oil. The possibilities are really endless. You can add them to oatmeal, salads, and smoothies to name a few options. Because of their pleasant, but mild taste they won’t overpower any Candida friendly recipe you put them into, but will drastically improve the nutrition of the recipe.

If you are on a Candida yeast eliminating diet or are thinking of starting one, then Chia seeds are a great food to begin adding to your Candida diet. They are pretty popular so you should be able to find Chia seeds in the bulk section of most grocery food stores as well as organic food stores. If you can’t find chia seeds in your area and want to add them to your Candida yeast eliminating diet, they can also be purchased in bulk online.
